Which is your favourite gear . . .
 
Mine's fourth, most of the time, with occassionally keeping it in third, as that keeps the revs in the usable and flatter part of the range 6 --> 10 K

Technique, honestly. Pull away in first and then keep it at 20mph for a sec then snap open the throttle. No I don't mean open it quickly I mean snap it open hard. The front wheel should then rear up and you've done your first SV wheelie. Do remember to close the throttle pretty quick though as it's easy to flip.

On both the SV1000 and the ZX6 exiting 3rd & 4th gear corners is a exciting affair.
